A drug trafficking ring that used maritime routes to transport and sell psychotropic substances valued at over 48.4 billion Kyats was apprehended in Insein Township, according to Myanmar Police Force.

The incident unfolded on July 12 at 6:30 PM, when a joint team from the Anti-Narcotics Task Force, acting on a tip-off, raided a rented house in Kyo East Ward, Insein Township, leased by Thein Win Tun and Tun Tun Lin (also known as Ko Tun). There, they arrested Zaw Zaw Lwin and seized 1,875 kilograms of ICE (methamphetamine), with a local value of 46.875 billion Kyats, 1.6 million stimulant tablets (valued at 1.6 billion Kyats), and one TOYOTA DYNA vehicle.

Based on follow-up investigations, Nay Myo Kyaw, who allegedly transferred the seized psychotropic drugs, was apprehended at 7:00 PM on Parami Road in Ward (16), Hlaing Township. On July 15, intelligence indicated that Kyi Phyu (also known as Kyaw Win Htay), responsible for transporting the psychotropic drugs, and Zaw Min Naing had fled towards Dawei.

Operations to apprehend them led to their arrest near Nyaung Khashay Village in Waw Township, along with a KLUGER vehicle. It was discovered that Kyi Phyu (also known as Kyaw Win Htay) was an absconding fugitive wanted in connection with a drug case.

Later that same day, at 4:30 PM, Soe Lin Paing (also known as Lin Lin), who was responsible for transporting the psychotropic drugs by sea to Malaysian territorial waters, was arrested at Nawaday Bridge in Pyay Township. On July 16, at 10:30 AM, Ye Tun (also known as Pae Nin or Poe Thargi ), the owner of the motorized boat used for transportation from the Yangon River estuary to Malaysian territorial waters, was apprehended in Pathein Gyi Township.

Ye Tun was also identified as an absconding fugitive wanted in a drug case. Finally, on July 17, at 4:30 PM, Thein Than Htay (also known as Zaw Zaw Aung or Nga Htay ), the owner of the Aung Yadana motorized boat responsible for transporting the psychotropic drugs to the Yangon River estuary, along with Kyaw Swar Min (also known as Min Min) and Myo Tun (also known as Ko Tun), were arrested in Mingaladon Township.

All arrested individuals are facing legal action under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Law. Further investigations are ongoing to identify and apprehend other individuals involved in this criminal network. It has been revealed that this drug trafficking ring has repeatedly engaged in the maritime transportation and sale of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances to foreign countries.

Consequently, measures are being taken to initiate further action under the Anti-Money Laundering Law to seize the financial proceeds and assets acquired from their drug trafficking activities as public property.
